Bruno's new scenarios are now included in the scenario guide. The guide can be viewed and downloaded in the files section. Thanks for the descriptions, Bruno!...
I enjoyed very much your third map of the campaign, Jagabot. The victory point regions are hard to conquer, especially if the computer places its mines well....
Seems I can't absolutely play on the net because I have a shared IP. My opponent can be reached by me but we can't handshake because my program remains mute. ...
If you have broadband (DSL or cable) you can get a router for ~$40. You can then set the router to forward requests from PGIE (a certain port no doubt) to be...
Bruno, I got finished playing map20 (Desert Clash) so I though I would give my thoughts. I actually played it 2x before I completely understood the rules on ...
Thanks for trying to help! I have a router in fact (well, I never use it but I'm sure it IS a router)... sadly it's a simple box with some inlets for the net ...
Thank you Sean for sharing your opinions about the scenario. Yes, Desert Clash is not fast and furious, you have to open a passage through the antitank...
Make sure you know the "internal" IP of your machine - if that IP is dynamically set everytime you start the box, you may want to consider setting your box's...
... Oh the z key. I suppose i should look at the manual at some point. Sean __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!...
Just a concluding remark: the Vietnam scenarios are boring. I have tested them now. They generate very predictable battles and give little room to tactical...
I always felt the same way about most of the "Great Battles" scenarios...sloppily done many of them. Steve ... From: karawane_71 To: pgie@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
My apologies to those trying to join while I was out.....I didn't warn folks that I was taking a trip back to San Francisco for the Game Developer's...
and just what does FPS and/or MMORPG stand for? I guess I'm not up on the lingo. Too bad about turn based games not being discussed much. Sigh. Steven Woodcock...
That'd be First Person Shooter (Doom, et al) and Massive Multiplayer Online Roll Playing Game (whew, that's a mouthful on a good day) like Warcraft. In my old...
FPS = First Person Shooter (Doom, Quake, Half Life, HALO to some extent) MMORPG = Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (World of Warcraft, Ultima...
I can confirm your observation of TBGs being played predominantly by old-timers. And this class of people probably does not appear too overbearingly at game...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the pgie group: Would you like PGIE to be playable through Email? o Sure! At last, I'd have a flexible...

Karawane, Personally I'd like a solution just like you're proposing: the possibility of giving the non-phasing units some "rules of engagement" for defensive...

I'm afraid that I must disagree with my colleage Karawane, though only to some degree. My brother (10 years my junior) is quite fond of turn-based games and...
Oh, I am happy to disagree with Steve. I can always take more motivation for our shoot-out game <grin>. Though, I would also love to play PGIE in a 2-on-2...
I'll put my two cents into this discusssion. How about a 4 player game with one or more of the players controlled by the computer? That way you could play one...
Heh...while I *did* train my brother well that doesn't really explain what I saw at the GDC. I'm telling you--there are a LOT of game developers who prefer to...
I'm having problems on two seperate machines getting the main map area to display. When I load scenarios, it's all black, but the "small" window and all of the...
The map window uses Direct X. First recommendation is to update your video drivers to the latest driver. It uses Direct Draw , not Direct 3D, so even if you...
Hello all. I just got finished playing Two Tribes. Final Score (overall): Me: Brig General 64050 points AI: 11450 2ndl A very cool scenario indeed but I...
I don't know if anyone reads my status reports, but in the one Monday I stated that the PGIE patch will be delayed till next week. After testing this morning,...
Thank for your comments Sean. This scenario is better for two people I guess... the AI isn't up to the task here. As usual, it can't focuse on taking and...
